Forget Me Not Wedding Cake Decorating and Baking Tutorial

In this lesson Paul discusses the design and all the bits and bobs he will be using including where he purchased them from. Some handy tips and words or warning along the way so well worth a watch.

Here Paul layers and dowels the middle tier cakes and then covers them in a neat layer of ganache. Not too neat however. Remember, no one is going to see the ganache as it will be covered so let’s’ not get carried away.

Paul demonstrates covering the largest cake in this lesson and then gets busy covering the rest off camera. Same applies here in that you don’t have to spend hours trying to get sharp edges etc as it will all be covered in decorations.

Paul makes up a huge batch of royal icing which will be used to attach the wafer decorations

Here, Paul cuts up the wafer paper into shard like pieces using a craft knife and then gets attaching them to the cake using royal icing and a rather makeshift piping bag.

In this lesson Paul shows us how to make the delicate flowers in three different sizes using edible wafer paper. You could you a punch cutter to make life easier but Paul ops for the scissors.

Time to get the glass bobbles and hot glue gun out and just make sure to do this in a carpeted area or at least just be very very careful. Here, we learn how to make the stunning cake separators and you’ll see why Paul uses a cake dummy and not a real cake.

Here we see Paul get busy with the hot glue gun and makes the separator using shot glasses and various sized glass bobbles.

In this lesson Paul makes a much bigger separator making sure there is plenty of room for the battery powered led lights.

Here, we see Paul add the final set of lights to the bottom of the cake and then stacks the entire cake. You may want to get a second pair of hands at this stage and most probably a ladder.

Here, we see Paul add the forget me not flowers to the cake and then starts to bring them to life with a little airbrush work.
